Since it seems that your intent is to hijack this thread with irrelevant voting data and provocations, I’m going to ignore you like Missouri is ignoring democrat senators.

This isn't hijacking a thread, it is merely responding to a misleading post that you tried to pawn off on us, it is very relevant to the article and your post.

1) Point of correction - Bush captured more of the total Catholic vote than the minimally-Catholic John Kerry

The writer is correct, the Catholics voted for Al Gore in 2000, after voting for Clinton in 1992 and 1996, in 2004 Bush did win the Catholic vote with 52%, and then in 2008, Obama won his 54% of the Catholic vote.

Four of the only six times that the Republicans have won the Catholic vote in history, was to reelect a president that was already there, a fifth time was electing Reagan's veep, before going to Clinton in the next election.
